It really is nice when you can hit a certain situation and make someone very happy by sheer accident.

@artfulreggie gosh!!!! that is a delight!

@cooner gosh! right? and such a delightful thing to be excited about!

I can see why Agatha Christie was so frustrated with the book at the end it really does feel like two projects smashed together. A Westmacott and a really clever mystery concept but the two dont fit together tonally and Poirot feels perfunctory.

Well finished the Hollow and it certainly was an ending

@nighteyes anyway Alaska pays big government grants for rhubarb research because it grows so well there.

@nighteyes Anyway garlic is an antiseptic we all know that but the fascinating thing about Rhubrb is that is from Mongolia and became popular as a medicine so it traveled on the silk road to Europe where it grows well and is a solid crop for humans and animals (animals eat the leaves humans the stalks) so Ben Franklin imported to the USA as a cheap cash crop for human settlers to avoid starvation the downside is overconsumption causes kidney stones.

@nighteyes oh sweetie no that is knowledge from my love of going to botanical gardens reading the little placards. The internet is where i avoid the weird stuff

@nighteyes why?

@nighteyes pineapple are many small fruits that swell and grow together into one big unit. You are eating fruit that got compacted by space as it ripened and squeezed together their flesh merging

I am so annoyed i trust KOAT as a news source for local services but they are the one I turn to for local news

@nighteyes sea arachnids!

Thursdays are my day off and I am genuinely excited for this oncoming winter storm and overcast day. Cause I like those.

@TaylorFox hooray! we aren't forgotten!

20% done the rug I started last week pleased with it but I want to focus on it more tomorrow as I read Valley of Fear by Doyle

@nighteyes I happen to DESPISE crab but hey more crab for others (decent in a bisque when mixed with other arachnids like lobster)
